How one couple’s pro-choice protest is inspiring others to join their satirical picket line

One couple’s counter-picket on anti-abortion protesters outside their local clinic in North Carolina went viral thanks to their brilliant homemade signs. And now it seems they’re inspiring others to do the same.

Grayson and Tina Haver Currin, who post their images on their Tumblr page Saturday Chores, have received widespread support online for using humour to make a serious pro-choice point.

With anti-abortion campaigners stationed themselves outside the clinic every weekend with signs bearing slogans such as ‘babies are murdered here’, the couple decided to produce their own protest banners. The signs themselves are often surreal, but they make their point.

Tina explains: ‘We both grew up not too far away and we’ve seen the clinic in question hundreds of times. But for some reason, on this morning in particular, the protesters got under our skin a little more than normal.’

So the couple made their own sign, posted pics online and, according to Tina, ‘people flipped’.
